Shimogawa Scoops

  Hawaiian Airlines is selling the office building near Honolulu International Airport (now named after Daniel K. Inouye) where it currently houses its headquarters, according to a listing by CBRE. The state's largest air carrier purchased the Airport Center office building just five years ago for $10.8 million in cash.  Hawaiian, like many other airlines across the world, has struggled through the effects of people traveling significantly less due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The building came under some controversy after Hawaiian looked into painting over the iconic mural done by marine artist Wyland. However, the two sides were able to come to an agreement to keep the mural where it’s at.  There is no asking price for Hawaiian's 111,109-square-foot, 14-story office building on Ualena Street. 

DocuSign’s founder has purchased a 1-acre oceanfront estate in Hawaii for $12 million, Shimogawa Scoops has learned. Tom Gonser, the creator of the billion-dollar electronic signature company, purchased the 2,700-square-foot pristine property in Makena on the island of Maui earlier this month. The property has a total tax assessed value of about $13 million. Hawaii has been a hot spot for high-end real estate purchases, even during the pandemic. DocuSign, which is headquartered in San Francisco, has nearly 4,000 employees and went public in 2018.
